Duo to fight ANOM charge

A FORMER Bachelorette contestant and his co-accused will fight drug supply charges in the District Court this year.

Samuel Colin Minkin, 28, and Arron Hyde, 39, appeared in Tweed Heads Local Court on Friday.

Both men have pleaded not guilty to supplying a prohibited drug greater than the large commercial quantity.

The pair were arrested as part of the Australian Federal Police’s Operation Ironside, which used information from the encrypted ANOM app.

Both cases were committed to the Lismore District Court. The matters were listed for arraignment on June 6.

Both men remain on bail.
